In this course, participants will hear from various experts in the field of perinatal mental health who will provide foundational training and information on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs).

4) Administer screening and assessment tools with pregnant and postpartum birthing people.

5) Identify the facets of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) study and their implications for perinatal mental health.

6) Explain how parent/child attachment may be impacted by perinatal mental health.

7) Identify what protective factors may play a role in the treatment and care of a family with a history of trauma.

8) Identify and explain the four Ps: Predisposing, Precipitating, Perpetuating, Protective and their implications during the course of treatment planning.

9) Apply the basics of effective intervention and utilize resources for informed care.

10) Name 3 evidence based interventions recommended for perinatal mental health disorder treatment.

11) Review basic guidelines for medication use during pregnancy and postpartum, including the four areas of informed consent.

12) Explain the importance of individualized care planning and name 2 recommendations for implementation.
